Why Invisible Braces Are The Product For YouA Story by Lora EmpsomWhen thinking of braces you tend to imagine that metal wire wrapped around your teeth with those metal plates on every teeth, that very idea is enough to drive many people away from getting braces eveIf you have ever had metal braces there’s a good chance your self confidence suffered from it. Research shows that majority of people with braces are in their teens and the teenage years are usually when an individual’s self confidence is at its lowest so at a time like that having the option to have invisible braces rather than metal ones is greatly beneficial. Majority of the people that choose to go with invisible braces do so based on this fact alone but there are a lot more advantages to using these other than them being hard to notice. With the metal braces you would have them fixed into place so as to apply a constant force to your teeth as long as the braces are being worn. This causes a problem associated to maintaining proper oral hygiene as you cannot just remove them when brushing your teeth. Another problem with metal braces is that they become a part of your personality. If you wear them through for example your university years you will always have a metal frame smiling at whoever is looking at photos of your graduation and not just there even in everyday life when you have a photo taken with friends or family or even for a passport the metal braces will always be visible where as if you had clear braces you could easily remove them at any time you pleased. Invisible braces are made of clear plastic and are specially molded for a person’s teeth so like a cover they just go on your teeth and thus can be easily slid off at anytime. But it is not recommended that you take the off for more than an hour at most a day because if you remove them the teeth start to move back to their old positions reversing the healing process and if they move back far enough it can be impossible to place your braces back as they won’t fit the new alignment anymore and you will have to start the process all over again. But you can always just take them off for having a meal, brushing your teeth or having a photograph taken and put them back in after you’re done and you should be fine. So being able to remove your braces, the fact that they are nearly invisible and the fact that they are more comfortable and require half the treatment time, are some of the factors that make people choose invisible braces over metal braces. © 2012 Lora Empsom |
